All,

  I thought I should share this with all of you as it has obvious
direct implications on Whois data, registration of domain name
data, and data archive considerations.  Ergo, RAA considerations.

(July 20, 2007)
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has submitted the Identity Theft
Enforcement and Restitution Act of 2007 to Congress.  The proposed
legislation expands identity theft and aggravated identity theft
statutes to include prosecution for those who steal data from
organizations as well as from individuals.  The bill would also provide
financial restitution for people who have to spend time fixing the
problems created by identity theft.
[Editor's Note (Schultz): This proposed legislation is extremely
significant in the fight against identity fraud.

Regards,
